Some of you might’ve glimpsed this already on the membership page but I’m excited to share a new membership perk for Galaxy tier members—the Galaxy Book Box!!!!!!

This is an exciting new perk where Galaxy members will receive curated book mailings over the next year where we explore a specific theme and dive into deeper discussion. Galaxy members who are signed up before the cutoff date each quarter (4 mailings per year) will receive the curated book plus a note from me in their mailing. These books will be accompanied by in-depth content specific to each book and the overall theme, including some literary commentary (complimentary essays/articles/criticism), annotations to refer to as you read, and my own personal opinions. I will also be scheduling zoom calls for all Galaxy members to join so we can discuss the books together. 

This year’s theme is inspired by the fact that I want to (hopefully!) acquire a literary/upmarket horror novel as our next Boundless Press title. I’ve been obsessed with horror in the last couple years and have been wanting to explore more titles in this genre that straddle the line between horror and female rage from the lens of BIPOC women.

Devastating Women in Horror will be a journey through stories where femininity becomes monstrous, grief becomes generational, and desire, identity, and survival collide in terrifying ways.

Across the year, we’ll read and discuss books exploring womanhood, cultural inheritance, bodily autonomy, family trauma, isolation, transformation, and the horror of carrying what came before you.
